Rotary has as one of its aims and objects that of developing better un derstandings among nations and which was in evidence at the meet ing of people of many nations, mingling friendly in the common cause. One of the striking events of the conference was the fact that in nominating the candidate for inter national president, a representative of France, M. Duprey, was named by Herr Adam Fischer of Germany, and the French representative selected for the high honor. This had occa sioned some dissatisfaction with the government of Germany and led to the order recently given that Rotary in Germany would be abolished. Oth er of the highlights of the meeting were discussed by the very capable speaker. Mrs. Blanch Haas in her remarks took up the trip across the seas and the points of interest that they had seen on their summer sojourn in the old world.

Mr. and Mrs. Haas had visited at Algiers on the trip and in this quaint rth African city had the opportun ity of seeing the life of the natives of that part of the world. Stops were also made at Naples, the beautiful Italian seaport and thence to Switzer land with its lovely valleys and grandeur of the towering Alps to northern France and Paris where they enjoyed a fine stay and also at London.
